Label: Broken Limbs Recordings
Fister
have a knack for finding excellent bands to do spilt releases with and this is
no exception. Their brilliant track 'We
All Die Tonight' is a thumping, gnarly affair, grinning with vehemence and
contempt. Teeth weigh in with 2 tracks, the latter of which 'To Lay Upon
Blistered Thorns' is a downright horrible piece of music in the best possible
way! Both bands know how to make the
most of a limited amount of time and manage to fill it with devastatingly heavy
music. A brilliant release worthy of anyone's interest or indeed money.

The Review:
If
you enjoy the nastier side of slow, heavy music, then Fister should be a band you're
already familiar with. This time, they have teamed with doom/death metal brigade
Teeth for one of the most crushing splits this year.
Fister's contribution, the
brilliant 'We All Die Tonight' is a
thumping, gnarly affair, grinning with vehemence and contempt. The vocals from
both bassist/vocalist Kenny Snarzyk and guitarist/vocalist Marcus Newstead are
full of a venomous bite attacking from behind the crushing wall of riffs. Even
when the song takes a more epic and melodic turn, it still attains the air of
malicious intent.
Teeth weigh in with 2 tracks;
first the vicious 'Lament Of The
Spineless', is a real treat, blasting and crushing in equal measure and the
riffs glisten with an eerie tone. That eerie tone is amplified on 'To Lay Upon Blistered Thorns' as they
take a slightly slower (but by no means less brutal) approach, despite the
blistering blasts of the opening bars. It's a downright horrible piece of music
in the best possible way!
Fister have a knack for finding
excellent bands to do spilt releases with (Primitive Man anyone?) and this is no
exception. Both bands know how to make the most of a limited amount of time and
manage to fill it with devastatingly heavy music. A brilliant release worthy of
anyone's interest or indeed money.
